She added : "You need to look beyond these simple narratives that we’re told, whether it’s about Muslim women or the legacy of the country knowing that this country was literally built on the backs of Black slaves and after the genocide of indigenous people."

The interview has since gone viral with hundreds of tweeters shocked at the line of questioning.

Twitter user Ghazala Ishard said: "Wow. Last week on @WGNTV, @hodakatebi totally schooled the anchors in less than 5mins about American and Israeli manipulation of Muslim women’s clothing choices for their military agendas, and was told on air that she—a born and raised US citizen—doesn’t “sound American."

Mairiam Amini tweeted: "These anchors were not ready to interview this smart girl! They pivoted from fashion to nuclear weapons"

In a conversation with Glamour Hoda said she wasn't surprised by the question.

She said: "It was a very powerful moment because you’re telling someone who’s visibly Muslim on live TV, for a large audience, that she doesn’t sound American? That of course perpetuates all sorts of biases: Always being foreign, always being other, always being incompatible with the West."

The hosts have since said they are 'very sorry' about the questioning (Image: Twitter)
